MALE URINAL DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 6, 1920.

Application filed December 9, 1918. Serial Nd. 265,860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. HILL, a citizen of the United States, andresiding at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Male Urinal Devices, ofwhich the following is a specification, such as will enable thoseskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to male lavatories, wate-rclosets and the likeand particularly to apparatus of this class designed to be used inrailway stations,hotels, schools, oflice buildings, ships and variousother public places, and the object of the invention is to provide anapparatus 01 the class specified with improved urinal stall or stalls; afurther object-being to provide each stall of the class specified, orthe back and side walls thereof, with flushing means; and a stillfurther object of the invention is to provide a urinal stall of theclass specified which is simple in construction and operation as well assanitary and eflicient in use; and with these and other objects in viewthe invention consists in an apparatus of the class specified,constructed and operating as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the followingspecification, of whichthe accompanying drawing forms a: part, in which the separate parts ofmy improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in eachof the views, and in which Figure 1 is a front view of two stalls madeaccording to my invention;

Fig. 2 a plan View of the construction as shown in Fig. 1 with part ofthe construction broken away and in section;

Fig. 4.- a partial-section on the line H of Fig. 2 and on an enlargedscale; and

Fig. 5 a partial section on the line 5--5 of Fig. 2 and on an enlargedscale.

In the accompanying drawing I have shown in Figs. 1 and 2, two maleurinal stalls 10 and 11 which are mounted or placed in a suitable roomor compartment, a wall of which is indicated at 12 and the floor ofwhich is indicated at 13. The stalls 10 and 11 have a common back wall11 which extends from the side wall 15 of the stall 10 to the side wall16 of the stall 11, and the stalls 10 and 11 are formed by a centralpartition wall 17.

The side walls 15 and 16 and the central partition wall 17 are connectedwith the back wall 11 adjacent to the top thereof by an gular bracketsas shown at 18 in Fig. 1 of the drawing. The tOp of the back wall 1-1 isbeveled inwardly and downwardly as shown at 19, and the bottom of saidwall sets in a groove 20 in a floor slab 13 but the front corner portionof said wall eX- tends into a concavo-convex drain 21 in said slab 13 asshown at 22, said drain being provided with a central discharge 23indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 3 of the drawing. The tops of the sidewalls 15 and 16 are beveled inwardly and downwardly as shown at 24; inFig. 5 of the drawing, while the top of the central partition wall 17 isbeveled at the opposite sides as shown at The walls 14:, 15, 16 and 17are preferably composed of slate but may be composed of I any desiredmaterial, and, in practice, I secure to the upper portion of the backwall 1 1 a slab or strip 26 which extends longitudinally of the back 01'the wall 14, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3, and between the sidewalls 15 and 16 and the partition wall 17 are placed other slabs orstrips 27 which range longitudinally of the front of the back wall 11and both of the slabs 26 and 27 are connected with the back wall 14 bybolts 28 passed therethrough and the heads of which are inclosed, orsealed by cement or similar material as shown at 29. The inner faces ofthe slabs 26 and 27 are notched out as shown at 30 to receive a top slabor strip .31 which closes the top of a compartment 32 formed between thetop of the back wall 14: and the slabs 26 and 27, which compartmentextends from the side wall 15 to the side wall 16.

.t will be noted on consideration of Fig. 1 ot the drawing that two ofthe bolts 28 are employed at the opposite sides of each of the slabs 27,and I also employ a central bolt 33 which is placed adjacent to theupper end of the slabs 26, 27 and which serves to prevent the spreadingof said upper ends. Placed between the back face of the slab 27 and thefront face of the back wall 14: are washers 3a which are mounted on the.bolts 28, and which serve to form a discharge slit or aperture 35 forthe compartment 32,

which aperture extends from the wall 15 to the wall 16.

The tops of the side walls 15 and 16 are constructed approximately inthe same manner as the top of the back wall 14, or secured to the topsof said walls are outer slabs 36 and inner slabs 37, the abutting facesof which are notched at,,the top thereof as shown at 38 to receive topclosure slabs or strips 39 adapted to close compartments 40 formedbetween the slabs 36 and 37 at the tops of the side walls. The slabs 36and 37 are connected with the tops of the walls' 15 and 16 by bolts 41upon which are mounted washers 42 which serve to form dischargeapertures 43 for the compartments 40 between the side walls and theinner slabs 37.

Secured to the top portion of the central partition wall 17 and at theopposite sides thereof are slabs 44 and 45 which are connected with saidpartition wall by bolts 46. The top abutting faces of the slabs 44 and45 are notched as shown at 47 to receive a slab or strip 48 which closesthe top of a compartment 49 formed between the slabs 44 and 45 and thetop of the partition wall 17 Washers 50 and 51 are mounted on the bolt46, at the opposite sides of the partition wall 17 to form between saidwall and the slabs 44 and 45 discharge apertures 52 and 53 for thecompartment 49.

The partition wall 17 as well as the side walls 15 and 16 are reduced atthe top thereof and adjacent to the front ends of said walls, andmounted on the front faces of the slabs 3637 and 4445 as well as theends of the slabs 38 and 48 are cover plates 54 which close the frontend of the compartments 40 and 49 and also form a finish for the ends ofsaid slabs and partition wall as clearly shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 ofthe drawing. The partition wall 17 or the rear bottom corner portionthereof is cut out, or made arc-shaped in form, as shown at 55 in Fig. 3of the drawing to permit the passage of the flush water through theconcavoconvex drain 21 and out through the discharge pipe 23.

Mounted in the compartments 32, 40 and 49 are flush water supply pipes,comprising a back pipe 56 extending longitudinally of the compartment 32and the ends of which are provided with extensions 57, which extend intothe compartments 40 at the top of the side walls 15 and 16, andconnected centrally of the pipe 56 is a forwardly directed pipeextension 58 which extends into the compartment 49. A supply pipe 59also connected centrally with the pipe 56 and passes upwardly throughthe slab or strip 31, as clearly shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4 of thedrawing.

The forwardly directed pipes 57 and 58 are closed by end caps 60 asindicated in Fig. 2 of the drawing, and mounted in the ture 35 and thusdown the front face of the back wall 14 of the stalls 10 and 11. Theforwardly directed pipes 57 are provided with a plurality of. inwardlydirected irrigation nozzles 62 similar to the nozzles 61 and throughwhich water is discharged from the pipes 57 onto the outer faces of theslabs 37, after which said water is discharged through the apertures 43and thus down the inner faces of the side walls 15 and 16.

The pipe 58 in the compartment 49 is provided at its opposite sides without wardly and downwardly directed irrigation nozzles 63 through whichwater is discharged from the pipe 58 onto the inner faces of the slabs44 and 45 and onto the top beveled faces 25 of the partition walls 17,and said water also passes down through the apertures 52 and 53 and thusdownwardly on the opposite side walls of the partition 17.

The supply of water to the pipe 59 may be constant, or said pipe maybeconnected with an automatic flush tank which will flush water into andthrough the pipes 56, 57 and 58 at predetermined intervals to keep theback and side walls of the stalls 10 and 11 constantly andintermittently flushed with water, which operation will keep the same atall times in a clean and sanitary condition.

My invention not only produces a sanitary urinal apparatus but producesan ap paratus of this class which may be made at a nominal cost and setup in the desired room or compartment of a building in a minimum amountof time, and at a small expense, and while I have shown certain de tailsof construction for carrying my invention into effect, it will beunderstood that various changes therein and modifications thereof may bemade, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing fromthe spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

It will be understood that the floor or slab 13 is composed of slate orsimilar material and as shown in Fig. 3, I also employ a floor spacingslab 64 which is preferably composed of slate and the inner end of whichis notched as shown at 65 to receive the front end portionof the floorslab 13 and the inner end of the slab 64 projects into theconcavo-conveX drain as shown at 66.

In the accompanying drawing I have shown two stalls 10 and 11 formed bya back, two side walls and a single intermediate or partition wall,.butit will be understood that in practice or when more than two stalls arerequired in a single room or compartment, the same are provided byincreasing the length .of the back wall and introducing other partitionwalls between the end walls, as well as providing a corresponding numberof pipes 58 projecting into compartments 49 at the top of each of thepartition walls.
